57 | The Ideal Weight and Age for Butchering Meat Goats to Get Premium Quality Meat


Listen Later

Hi friends!  Today we’re answering a listener question about butchering meat goats.  What is the best age and size to butcher, and how to feed them so the meat quality is amazing.  We’re going to talk about commercial weight and age standards or, rather, the lack of standards, and what I have found works really well to meet our goal of premium quality meat.  Let’s get to it!

 

All the Best!
